Driving straight at 40mph, no acceleration or deceleration. Car without warning suddenly stopped, as if it had shifted into first gear and I had slammed on the brakes. When I pressed on gas the car would not move but did make revving sounds. I looked at gear shift and it was no longer in drive. I think it was in manual. I doubt I had accidentally moved the gear shift because I was not moving around in my seat and I was driving straight, not turning the steering wheel. This car is an automatic (cvt). I've only driven two miles since but it seems to be working fine now.
When driving on the highway the vehicle exhibits very poor straight line stability. Vehicle wanders within the lane and requires excessive steering wheel correction to maintain straight direction. Vehicle 500 miles on it (350 driven by owner) but is now sitting in driveway for fear of personal safety if emergency maneuver is necessary on the highway.
